2. Check that there is no media ID in the merge table, if any, do not do the operation, contact NBU; if not, continue.

Nbemmcmd, version:6.5.6

Command completed successfully.
3. Make sure no media is in the merge table, just see if the media ID has an image
Some will list the image and Frag lines (this is the media that has not yet been passed), and there is no way to lose anything (this is media that has expired or is not assigned)

4. As long as the media ID does not appear in the merge table, you can use the BPTM command to create a full media record for the affected media ID (this is the case that the master server does not exist above, there is no major, By the command to render the media ID master server, the media ID can be expired and unsigned as long as the complete information is available.
The BPTM command needs to know the media id,density,volumn pool number three parameters
